5" Festool Random Orbit Sander - $99

[farmerbw]

Scott, I never found it on the Klingspor site so not sure it ever made it there. Did you try calling their 800# above and seeing if you could order it from them?

DANG IT.... A day late again. This time I had the dollar. This is sold out on the Festool site and no longer appears on the Klingspor site.

Scott, No worries. I got you covered. Most everybody was sold out but Festools-Online still had some so I ordered one for you. It will cost you a portrait of Ben Franklin

Really glad you posted that Phil! I thought I had missed out as well, but Festools-Online still has a few apparently. In for 1 - thanks!

The Moulding Source/The Woodworking Source/The Festool Source will have some. We're waiting to take orders until we actually get the sanders in though. We don't want to make a promise we can't keep. Call us after the 17th or 18th of October and we'll have a much clearer picture of the quantity we'll have available.

This is what happens when you decide to ask the wife before purchasing, ugh!

I would like to order one of tbese and the mobile dust extractor (594171). What do I need to do? I have tried these at some other members workshops and they are great! November 1st would be great, My wife said she would buy me one for Christmas, but if not I will buy my own. I assume that you are a Festool dealer (?)

Klingspor's Woodworking Shop will have as well if you want to buy local. November 1 is first delivery date but orders can be placed today. Fantastic deal and we are excited to offer.

Just saw these questions about the new Festool sander answered on Fine Homebuilding and thought some might like to see what someone else thinks of the deal.

Just received mine. After doing a short, quick test I was very pleased. This will be my goto finish sander

I just got notice from the Fletcher Klingspor WW Shop that mine is ready to pick up -- I'm looking forward to putting it through its paces (I have the Festool ETS 150/5 and this new sander with be for finer work with its tighter oscillation radius). A great bargain at $99 with its own systainer.

Supposed to get mine tonight but hasn't arrived.

I got a notice essentially telling me that the timing for delivery was unknown and that I could cancel.

Just curious did it come with the dust bag?

Also do you know if they are still available?

Thanks

Chris

No it did not come with a dust bag - The sanders work great when hooked up to a vacuum, not so much with a bag.

It appears this special deal is sold out

 

[Chuckd]

I picked one up Yesterday at the Raleighwoodcraft store. I had a chance to use it this morning. Wow, it is great.

 

[Hmerkle]

Will they work with a "regular"shop vac or MUST you buy a Festool vacuum for the dust control to work?

Any vac will work just fine.

I am thinking the noise of sander AND the vacuum MIGHT drown you out:dontknow:

Only if you buy your vac at the big box store. A Fein, Festool, or Makita vac will be as quiet as the sander.

I ordered my sanders early - just picked up three today from Klingspor. Yea, my Christmas shopping is done !!
